Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Moroccan national team defender Achraf Hakimi is facing a very serious legal issue. According to French newspaper Le Parisien, he is accused of rape and, if found guilty, could face up to 15 years in prison.
In March 2023, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office launched an investigation in which Hakimi was suspected of sexually assaulting a 24-year-old woman. According to her, she met the footballer through social media and visited his home at his invitation. However, the situation quickly took a drastic turn.
The victim claims she resisted several times and even tried to leave the house. Despite this, Hakimi allegedly touched her inappropriately and committed rape.
The charges brought by the prosecutor carry a heavy sentence — up to 15 years of imprisonment. The case will now proceed to be reviewed by a judge. During the investigation, statements from both sides, evidence, and legal aspects will be thoroughly examined.
For your information, Achraf Hakimi is one of the brightest stars in world football and a key player for PSG. His lawyers deny the charges and are working to prove his innocence.
The case is drawing attention from both French and international sports communities. The final decision will be made by the court.
